GRAMMAR

TOPIC: REFLEXIVE AND RELATIVE PRONOUNS

The pronoun is a word used in place of a noun to avoid repetition and monotony in speech or writing.  In replacing the noun, however, the pronoun must reflect the gender and number of the noun.

TYPES OF PRONOUN

Pronouns replace nouns perfectly and perform the roles the nouns replace and perform.

REFLECTIVE PRONOUN: These pronouns reflect the subject of the sentence and also show emphasis. They have ‘self’ ending for the singular and ‘selves’ for the plural.

Singular                                                            plural

First  person          MYSELF                                            OURSELVES

Second person             YOURSELF                                          YOURSELVES

Third person               HIMSELF/HERSELF/ITSELF                         THEMSELVES

Example:         The man killed himself

                             I did the work myself

                             People sometimes talk to themselves

RELATIVE PRONOUN: The relative pronoun is used to describe or modify an antecedent noun and also to introduce the subordinate clause to the main clause. The pronouns include WHO, WHOM, WHOSE, WHICH, THAR, WHERE, WHEN AND HOW.

Example:

1.           The man who helped him has come.
2.           The boy whom I told you about is crying.
3.         The girl whose father died in an accident wanted to assist me
4.      I saw the book which he wrote.
5.      She knows the boy who stole the money.
6.   We suspected how it must have happened.
7.   That was the time when I came in.
8.      Mama went to the place where she first met father
